Bacteria constitute a large domain of prokaryotic microorganisms. Typically a few micrometres in length, bacteria are a type of biologic cell and have a number of shapes, ranging from spheres to rods and spirals. Bacteria were among the first life forms to appear on Earth, and are present in most of its habitats.

CRISPR Cas13d in Complex with crRNA
CRISPR Cas13d in Complex with crRNA CRISPR Cas13a is a newly discovered member of the Genome editing system making waves in the biotech community. Explore this 3D printed protein model of CRISPR Cas13d (tinted green) to examine how it uses RNA (red) to target and edit viral RNA (purple). Protein model created from PDB ID:…
M Tuberculosis Toxin-antitoxin Complex
Argonaute Protein
Argonaute Protein Small RNA sequences guide Argonaute Protein (Apo) to its specific DNA targets, which then leads to mRNA cleavage or translation inhibition. Inside the gut, bacteria express control over their host organism by secreting Nitric Oxide which modulates Apo function. Explore the 3D structure of Argonaute Protein. (more…)

Oligosaccharyltransferase Complex
Oligosaccharyltransferase Complex This is a 3D print of oligosaccharyltransferase (OST) complex. It is colored blue according to the protein’s electrostatic property. Colored green are various monosaccharides attached to OST as sugar trees. Isolated and colored by atom type are the binding residues that attach shuttling proteins. Colored white are individual phospholipids from a plasma membrane.…
